Free P....R.I.P. Sean Bell....We will never 4 get..

"Termanology Joint"

Termanology has made a name for himself in a relatively short amount of time..He is getting better and more on point with every release....This cut "Hold That", {prod. by Pete Rock] was unveiled first on D.J. Premier's radio show last year by Pete Rock himself..................Download this scorcher pronto....100........

"Sucka Of The Week, Clowns On Parade Edition"

Sucka of the week is back black............Just when you thought it was safe to enter a {rap battle} here comes this clown with a blind-sided haymaker upside your dome..................Damn.........Whatever happened to the dudes that actually had ill rhymes in battles?.................Instead of spitting ill rhymes, they beat up on the mentally ill....................

"Lord Finesse On The Wheels"

Everyone knows "Lord Finesse" is a {Funky Technician} on the microphone, but he is no slouch on the turntables as well. This is a late 90's mixtape he put out called, "Hip Hop Classics"............Just to hear Finesse narrate through this mixtape is classic enough for me.........This mix will be taken down in 2 weeks....Get it while you can......

"Mobb Deep Shit"

Alchemist has a new album called "Cutting Room Floor 2", that came out a couple months back.........Peep his blog alchemistbeats.blogspot.com...............The name of this burner is "Tight", {featuring Mobb Deep}......Download below............

"On The Battlefield"

Yo, Yo ,Yo...........The majority of these contrived battles are corny........Dudes standing around crackin mom jokes on each other and shit...........Let's be real, the battle circuit has turned into the "comedian circuit"...........Nothing wrong with being a funny dude, but where the fuck are your rhymes?.................This battle right here isn't the illest by far, but I must say I was halfway entertained........Check in 4 yourself.......

"Wax Weapons 11" { Hardcore Ambassador Edition}

"How About Some Hardcore"................This is the type of mix you play before you slap someone upside the head..............I pulled out some of my dirtiest records for "Wax Weapons 11"..........Unfortunetly there is one needle skip, but since this is a freestyle mix, I'm not tripping.............If you appreciate hardcore as much as I do, you will download this right now...........All vinyl, all Drasar Monumental, all off the dome, all grimy as fuck................Pow...Pow

" Remix Uppercuts "

Pow, Pow, Blam, Blaaaaaam.........I'm the type of cat that takes pride in deconstructing records.....Instead of just looping shit {which I rarely do}, I usually break shit up..........Turning melody into discord.......Flipping the ugliest part of a record is what I am into.....One of my objectives, is to make sure I wreck the samples to the point that the original artist wouldn't have a clue I jacked them.......Some dudes are into the technical part of production......But since I am a D.J., my ethics are more based around feeling. And on that note........Here is some more remixes for you and your crew..............All hardcore, uppercut, no nonsense, shit. Prepare for that raw........Check the low end work people.....

"R.I.P. Anthony {Big Ant} Marin"

Anthony passed away in June of this year........I remember seeing him working at Cue's Records on the regular......He was always willing to build, and discuss beats, rhymes, and life..........When Cue's closed, I would spot him at Amoeba's.........And the cypher would continue.............Rest In Power, Anthony.................................To learn more about this Bay Area pioneer check http://www.amoeba.com/content/big-ant.html

"N.M.S. 1989, Alladin vs. D.J. Miz"

This is some classic shit right here......Anybody remember when "Alladin" and "Miz", battled on "Yo' M.T.V. Raps?..............In my opinion "Alladin", got jerked in the N.M.S. battle..........They both were ill for that time, but it's hard not to notice "Miz's" needle trouble................And the line switch cutting is classic, as well.........{And yes that is M.C. Serch}.....HeHeHe

"Top Ten Wack Hip Hop Names"

When it comes to Hip Hop names, I have heard it all, from "Black Spade" to "Lil Half Dead"................And this trend of fools calling themselves "Lil" or "Young" is a little tiresome {don't you agree}..........Anyway me and my manz "Rashad", came up with the top ten worst Hip Hop names........Peep....

1. Dru-Down............Even though 'Master P" bit that wack "Ice Cream" shit from him, his name still sounds jive as fuck........

2. Big Bank Hank............Everyone knows he is a biter as well..........He went straight from the pizza shop to "Big Bank Hank", brother please......

3..Young M.C............Here goes that young shit again.....What happens when your boy turns 50?......My bad, dude might just be 50 already........Pow.

4..Kingpin Skinny Pimp.........Google this brother, to see 4 yourself.......

5.....Ecstacy.............Yo, I always thought "Whodini" was fresh until that ,"Open Sesame" shit............But that name "Ecstacy", always puzzled me a little bit....HaHa.....

6.....Playa Hamm........This brother was down with a crew called "Penthouse Players Clique".......Eazy E and Quik were co-signers of this outfit.........Come on fam, "Playa Hamm".........You know we don't fuck around with that swine.........

7...Suga T.............The fourth member of the "Click", alongside D-Shot, E-40, and B-Legit.................Ice-T beat you to the punch, what's next "Sweet T"?............By the way we do have a "Sweet T".....Anyone remember "It's My Beat"........Funky

8....Lil White.........He is down with "3-6 Mafia", and he raps just like his name sounds.......Blam,blam

9.....Juicy J............Another "3-6 Mafia" bad move..........No man should ever call himself juicy in Hip Hop..........That's like calling yourself gay and available.......

10......2 Big M.C.............Nuff said...........
{Honorable mention}.....Duke Bootee, Dat Nigga Daz, Redhead Kingpin, Lil Sam, Big Bo, Flo-Rida {Florida get it}, Dolla, Young Ralph, insert name here.........

"New D.J. Revolution"

D.J. Revolution just released a new album on September 16th entitled, "King Of The Decks".............And you know he takes that "king shit" seriously.......Peep the tatoo on his forearm on the above pic...........Yeeeeaaahhhh motherfucker............We all know Revolution is ill on the decks, but he has stepped up his production chops as well.................He produced both of these joints..."Start The Revolution", by Bootcamp Clik.........And "School", by Planet Asia...........Enjoy, and go buy his shit......Recommended {Class Of 86 Mixtape} and {In 12's We Trust}........100

"Sold My Soul To The Devil"

What up my peoples?......Prodigy has been locked up for almost 7 months now.......It's really a shame because his new album {H.N.I.C. 2} gave him plenty of momentum to do big things...................This joint is off "Big Twinz" new album {Grimy Collection}
it's called "Sold My Soul", featuring Prodigy.........Free P.....

"King Yellowman"

I was just talking to my peoples {ShyeerAllah}, and I told him 'Yellowman", is coming to town........He tried to crack jokes on "Yellowman", and said "He didn't know too much about him"....................For the record, "Yellowman' is no joke........After Bob Marley died "Yellowman" hit the scene, and became Jamaica's biggest artist 82-85..........He was born as a albino, and concidered a outcast.........But that didn't prevent him from displaying his natural talent {mic wrecking}..............Sunsplash wouldn't have been Sunsplash, without "Yellowman"........"Sting" wouldn't be "Sting", without "Yellowman"...........And their is no way dancehall would be what it is today without "King Yelloman'................Check his album with "Fathead", it is a essential example of mic control, breath control, and crowd control.........Also "Yellowman" has been sampled by countless Hip Hop producers..."Dr.Dre" sampled him on "Nobody Move"....Nice and Smooth on "Zunga Zeng", I will just stop there................Respect....

"Hip Hop Battlefield--Top Ten"

You know what it is.......And if you don't, you are about to know........These are my top ten joints in my I-Pod......Yeah duke, I buy records but I still freak my I-Pod........Some joints are new, and some older, but all of them are flavorful.........P.S. To that sneaky ass coward who stole my last I-Pod, get ready for some black anger.......... Bitch..........{In no particluar order}

1. Muggs and Asia--"Pain Languge"-----Music to set off a bloody fight....Asia sounds real good on this type of production...Pow...Pow..

Trying To Keep Vinyl Alive

On a recent trip to my favorite record store {Amoeba Records}, I was astonished at the lack of current Hip Hop 12 inches...........This had never happened before.....I have been going there on a constant since 1999, and I alway's walked out of there with a gang of new shit........I know, I know, your probably thinking why and the hell is this fool still buying records?......It's because my father was a D.J., and I have a sentimental relationship with wax...........And it just sounds better than Serato to me...If I didn't have between 8000-10,000 {stopped counting} records to fuck around with, Serato would of been my obvious alternative...........This is no diss to my Serato rocking D.J.'s........Some of my closest friends are monsters on that Serato shit.......I just never really felt the need to abandon certain traditions that were passed down to me {Diggin}...........But if my last trip 2 "Amoeba", is a indicator of what's to come........."Mr Keep Vinyl Alive", might have to rethink some things.....................

"Ayatollah Interview"

Ayatollah is a very underrated producer...........I can't seem to figure out why, because the brother has released some serious heat over the years........From his work with "Tragedy" and "Imam Thug"...........To his work with 'Mos Def", and many others....Ayatollah has always kept it gritty.................Salute...Check for his new album coming out September 30, entitled "Drum Machine".....

"Jay Dilla -BBC Radio One London, 2001"

First of all I gotta say R.I.P. J-Dilla.......................And the last thing I have to say is, this is simply incredible..............

"Piss On Your Face" {R.Kelly...Weirdo Brother Edition}

What the fuck is going on with these R N B cats these days? ..... I miss singers like "Marvin Gaye", "Al Green", "Teddy Pendegrass", etc..........These new singing cats just beg for the booty with no class whatsoever.........In my opinion your boy R. Kelly stole Aaron Hall's whole shit.......Voice, image, style, everything....................Anyway Funk Master Flex has some angry words for Mr.Kels.............And even though Flex is known for accepting payola, I agree with him on this issue....................Bang, bang

"Live From Vietnam, California" {Remix Beatdowns]

"D.J. Supreme and Jake One, Are The Conmen"....

Seattle's 'Conmen", put out various breakbeat/raregroove mixtapes in the late 90's and early 2000's...........Kon and Amir, Chemist, Shadow, Daddy Long Legs, Soulman, and many others put out similiar mixes, but the 'Conmen" always put a unique twist on their joints..........And in terms of obscurity, the records they flipped were as rare as they come...........Salute to the "Conmen", for keeping it official...........Extra special thanks to my dude "Talk Sick', for looking out.......Blam Blam......

"Where The Fuck Is Little John"?

When your sidekicks are known as "Big Sam" and "Little Bo", you should already know your shining time is limited...........In today's Hip Hop landscape, crews come and go like a common cold...........But one of the most annoying motherfuckers to ever disgrace a microphone had to be "Little John"............Fools everywhere were yelling "what", and "yeeeeeeaah" like Little John was one of their family members........And who can forget "Dave Chappelle's" parody of the brother on his short lived comedy series?......................Anyway, goodbye Little John, you have already been replaced by a gang of other corny motherfuckers..........

'

"What's The Name Of This Nation"?

What's up people?.......When it comes to beats, Afrika Bambaataa is known as the "King Of Records"........And when you hear this live set from 1983, you will agree..............Instead of playing records in one style, he runs the gamut and includes all types of genres and beats..............He was ahead of his time back then, and even to this day his sets are beyond what most d.j's are attempting to do..................This is exclusive material folks, you would be hard-pressed to find shit like this.......Enjoy....Z's up

"Exclusive Jump Off Series'

This is a remix my manz, "Monzrock" did of "Off The Books".........And if you don't know by now, "Monzrock" is a force to be reckoned with.....He mixes his own shit, engineers his own shit, rhymes, and is the proud father of a newborn baby..........I also have to add we have a remix project in the works that will see the light of day sometime this year............Salute to you Monz, for the insightful production cyphers, endless joke sessions, and for being a overall cool cat................This remix is no joke, download this scorcher pronto................100

"Madlib, A.K.A. D.J. Rels"

This is the type of groove to cap off a beautiful summer........Peace..

Your boy Kanye is wilding in this footage............I am absolutely anti-police, but I am also anti-sucker m.c. .......What's wrong with getting your picture taken if you are a so-called celebrity?........It must get annoying after awhile, but suck it up and accept that for the rest of your life this type of behavior will be poppin off................Rich dudes.....I don't understand em........

"Sucka Of The Week ", Josh Martinez

Just when I thought I have seen everything in Hip Hop, here comes "Josh Martinez" to remind me how corny certain so- called mc's can be........This fool actually placed a glass of beer on his head, and attempted to {rap} while performing this bizarre circus/balancing act..........Ahhhhhhh.......But, wait it actually get's worse......His d.j. threw on the instrumental of 'Faith", by George Michael, and Mr.Martinez proceeded to conduct a wacked-out, karaoke/rap {hipster} version ,of a bad song to begin with
........Am I going fucking crazy? Am I really bugging?.......Is this what Hip Hop is all about?..........Nah, I'm not tripping.....Ya'll cat's are tripping............There is a thin line between parody and disrespect.............Keep it thorough, I'm outta here........

"Old School Joint Of The Day"

T La Rock is in my top 10 of most influential mc's...............Kool G.Rap, L.L. Cool. J, and countless others borrowed aspects of T La's style......He was using big words and intricate rhyme patterns, when a lot of mc's were stuck on elementary school poetry......Salute to you T. La. Rock for making me step up my vocabulary....

"Sucka Of The Week ", Your Boy T.I.

Sucker of the week is back to burn...............Do you really want someone like T.I. telling you to go out and vote? He is a convicted felon that can't even vote himself {didn't he just get caught with a trailor load of biscuits}............What kind of fools do you think we are? Is T.I. running for president?, Is he campaigning for less time in prison?.......This whole situation is starting to really stink to me........."Respect My Vote"......Brother please, have you ever heard of the "electoral college"?

" Oakland's Hobo Junction"

The Hobo Junction consisted of Saafir, JZ, Whoridas, Eyecue, Big Nose, Daarina, Rashinel, Mahasin, Poke Martian, and the 3rd Rail Vic........And I wish they would release more music, but I am not quite sure if they are a recording collective at this time.........When it comes to Oakland's Hip Hop history, you are a fool if you forget to mention "Hobo Junction"......The name of this track is "Eternal Champs", off the Black Label album.........

"Mysterious Prodigy Track"

If any other dude came out with this type of joint, I would most likely diss it......But somehow Prodigy makes me enjoy this track.....His one liners always make me laugh {Even if he is dead serious}......This wasn't on H.N.I.C. 2, and it's not on his new album "Product Of The 80's......That's why it's this week's mystery track...........Baby, baby......
